Geneva Theatre Guild presented three original, unpublished one-act plays as the most recent installment of the annual Playwrights Playreadings series.

The selected plays for 2006 were:

• Interrupted Memories by M. John Bohane of Nokomis, FL
  A middle aged man introduces his off-times befuddled parents to the audience through a series of humorous and evocative vignettes interlinked with major national events of the last forty years ending with a poignant connection to the 9/11 tragedy.
  
  
• Pitching the Good Game by Jay Hanagan of Geneva, NY
  Samuel and Ruth have been married for forty years, and have made it to a baseball game on this date, for every year of their lives together. But they are at an early crossroads where memories fail and love and tolerance are pushed to their limits.
  
  
• Bob's Date by John Shanahan of Quincy, MA
  Bob-who's not actually in this play-is going on his first date in two years. His internal attributes, including Nerves, Logic, Libido, Bull, and Confidence, are trying to get him prepared for the night. When Bob's date answers the door, there's a love-at-first-sight moment, which awakens long-sleeping Emotion. Her arrival throws the men into chaos. But when she looks out and sees Bob's date, she brings up Memory--the memory of the woman who broke Bob's heart.
